The Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site contains rock art spanning 6,000 years of human habitation with over 500 individual rock-art designs and elements on the cliffs and boulders around the base of a 500-foot mesa. The different designs are associated with the cultures of the Great Basin, Western Anasazi and Lower Colorado River, only a few of the cultures that have passed this way. Some of the representations of turtles, lizards and bear paws may be symbols with meanings that are now lost to us.
